Social Consciousness

Aplicar el arte del Importaculismo Práctico es retomar el control y darle la importancia que corresponde a quien más lo merece: ¡Uno mismo! ¡Nos volvimos esclavos del qué dirán!

He provides step-by-step instructions for 18 shamanic alchemy practices for inner transformation, including vibrational energy work, consciousness-altering techniques, the creation of mirrors of the mind, shamanic viewing, and sacred ceremonies tied to the four elements.

Within this earth game and beyond there are an infinite number of veils and levels of consciousness. Upon reaching each one, as in a video game, we move on to the next level, and it is often with the assistance of what appears as unseen energies that we progress. Each dimension holds clues to our awakening, but no single dimension holds all clues or answers.

In But Are You Alive?, entrepreneur and teacher Eloise Skinner explores lessons learned from a decade spent pursuing depth, purpose and meaning, including from her training in a monastic community and in the field of existential therapy.

There are eight billion people on this planet and the idea, or box of "NORMAL" that we try to live in is as varied as there are people. Who has the authority to tell us how to behave? It's not natural, it's not right, and it causes stress and illness for far too many humans. This book is a guide to finding freedom and understanding how to understand ourselves. It's a guide to becoming human being and enjoying life.

An unflinching and luminous memoir that explores a father’s philosophical transformation when he must reconsider the questions what makes us human? and whose life is worth living? Before becoming a father, Chris Gabbard was a fast-track academic finishing his doctoral dissertation at Stanford. A disciple of Enlightenment thinkers, he was a devotee of reason, believed in the reliability of science, and lived by the dictum that an unexamined life is not worth living. That is, until his son August was born.

As often as we use our senses, we rarely stop to think about their place in history. But perception is not dependent on the body alone. Carolyn Purnell persuasively shows that, while our bodies may not change dramatically, the way we think about the senses and put them to use has been rather different over the ages. Journeying through the past 300 years, Purnell explores how people used their senses in ways that might shock us now.

Why is life worth living? What makes actions right or wrong? What is reality and how do we know it? The Brain and the Meaning of Life draws on research in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to answer some of the most pressing questions about life's nature and value.

Che cos'è la coscienza? È qualcosa di fisico? E che cos'è la realtà? È qualcosa di esterno, oggettivo, che possiamo davvero conoscere? E come? Dall'antichità a oggi, queste domande perturbanti non hanno smesso di far discutere filosofi e scienziati. Ma le loro risposte si sono sempre basate sul dualismo irriducibile tra mente e realtà, apparenza e mondo fisico, che ha scavato un fossato tra l'uomo e gli oggetti che lo circondano. Così la coscienza umana è diventata un mistero inafferrabile, un fenomeno interiore e soggettivo, e la natura un dato esteriore ed estraneo.

Our ecological, social, and political issues all stem from the ideologies that drive our collective actions. In contrast to our innate humanity, which is rooted in unity, these ideologies have led us to believe that we are separate from each other, separate from nature, and separate from the results of our actions. Such a worldview encourages individuals to maximize self-interest, which then causes fragmentation, conflict, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.

This short yet profound tale lets you enter a private event, where an unnamed master reveals the nature of human beings and consciousness. In doing so, he shares the secrets of how others influence your life force energy (chi), thoughts, and actions, giving you the insights to take control of your life. More than that, you'll learn how to more rapidly attract the people and resources needed to fulfill your life purpose.

One of the deepest questions we can ask is: What happens after we die? For the past centuries, with the rise of scientific materialism, the prevailing answer to this has been: nothing. Bestselling author Daniel Pinchbeck (Breaking Open the Head, 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl) builds the philosophical foundation for a new understanding and acceptance of our existence as souls and spirits within a larger continuum of consciousness, connecting contemporary scientific knowledge with ancient esoteric and shamanic wisdom traditions.

We are face to face with this great world, and our relations to it are manifold. One of these is the necessity we have to live, to till the soil, to gather food, to clothe ourselves, to get materials from nature. We are always making things that will satisfy our needs, always in touch with this great world through hunger and thirst. Then, we have our mind; and our mind seeks its own food. It must find out reason in things, faced with a multiplicity of facts, and bewildered when it cannot find one unifying principle which simplifies the heterogeneity of things.

Acerca del alma se enmarca en el grupo de obras aristotélicas dedicadas a la naturaleza orgánica y a los seres vivos. Aristóteles entiende el alma como principio de vida, lo cual explica que este estudio combine cuestiones de psicología y de fisiología. Se trata de una concepción naturalista muy distinta de las espiritualistas propias del platonismo y el cristianismo, sin connotaciones religiosas y apegada a las ciencias particulares.

Lewis Gordon, one of the leading scholars of Black existentialism, has spent decades nurturing intellectual reflection as a vital component of ongoing activism for racial justice around the world. In this boldly original book, he delves into history, art, politics and popular culture to show how the process of racialization - and its absence - affects not only how individuals and society perceive Black people but also how Black people perceive themselves.

The existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre once declared "the ideal limit of aquatic sports...is waterskiing". The avid surfer and lavishly credentialed academic philosopher Aaron James vigorously disagrees, and in Surfing with Sartre he intends to expound the thinking surfer's view of the matter, in the process elucidating such philosophical categories as freedom, being, phenomenology, morality, epistemology, and even the emerging values of what he terms "leisure capitalism".
